बघेल राजपूत

The Baghel Rājpūts, who have given their name to Baghelkhand or Rewah, the eastern part of Central India, are a branch of the Chalukya or Solankhi clan, one of the four Agnikulas or those born from the firepit on Mount Abu. The chiefs of Rewah are Baghel Rājpūts, and the late Mahārāja Raghurāj Singh has written a traditional history of the sept in a book called the Bhakt Māla.1 He derives their origin from a child, having the form of a tiger (bāgh) who was born to the Solankhi Rāja of Gujarāt at the intercession of the famous saint Kabīr.
